Lucas ALARIO got off to a dream start for Bayer Leverkusen.
A goal and an assist is what the former River Plate man can now add to his resumé in Germany. After some initial trouble with his transfer (undergoing a medical withour River Plate’s consent), ALARIO finally made his debut in the Bundesliga. The €24 million man scored in Bayer Leverkusen’s second of the match and set up the third in their 3-0 win against Hamburg. Leverkusen coach Heiko HERRLICH had this to say:

The goal was the cream on top of it all. He (ALARIO) played very well, scored the goal and combined with the other players. He worked well coming back and his first goal wasn’t so easy to score.
ALARIO became the first Argentinian to score on his Bundesliga debut since Sergio ZARATE did it back in 1991.
